SUMMARY
tant but not how to achieve reliability, it was decided to develop a game where 2
teams play against each other. One team plays according to traditional building
practice and the other team plays the game using the Last Planner principles. The
two teams have different rules but the time and resources are fixed.
It was also decided that the environment of the game should be a new trainees
programme offered by the Danish Technological Institute to especially project
managers and superintendents in the construction industry. The objective of the
course is to give the participants a broad range of knowledge and some practical
tools within managing the logistics in a construction project. The course is conducted
as a combination of distance learning and workshops. The intention is to
introduce the game at the first workshop after the participants have received lectures
on the following topics:
─ Introduction to logistic as a concept.
─ Logistic as it is used in construction.
─ Lean Construction.
The result of the game designing process is the development of a prototype, which
is described in the following.
THE PROTOTYPE
The name of the game is Plan Byg and the objective of the game is to build a
Lego house and deliver it to the client by the end of week 18. A set-up of the
game is shown in Figure 4.

The idea of the game is to introduce some of the methods used in The Last Planner
System of Production Control in the assembly phase of a project. The methods
that are introduced in the game are; the look ahead process, PPC (Percent Planed
